Sanji turned into a neko!?...(ZOSAN)

The countdown...

Sanji curses under his breath, pacing around the deck with a frustrated look on his face.

Sanji: ''If this neko thing doesn't wear off soon... I'm so screwed...''

Chopper walks up, clipboard in hand, tail wagging slightly in excitement.

Chopper took Sanji in for his daily check-up to see if there were any improvements—and to their relief, there were!

Chopper: ''SANJI! YOU'LL SOON BE BACK TO NORMAL!! I think... it'll take approximately two days? Maybe three?''

Sanji: ''WHAT—REALLY!?!? THANK GOD! I WON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS SHIT ANYMORE!! And with Zoro...'' He mutters the last part under his breath.

Chopper: ''You said something, Sanji?''

Sanji: ''No, Chopper, nothing at all. Thanks for the check-up... I'll go make you some cotton candy.''

Chopper: ''YAY! THANK YOU, SANJI!!''

Chopper smiles brightly, his tiny hooves flapping in joy. Sanji can't help but return the smile at his adorable excitement.

Sanji chuckles softly under his breath, ''Cute little guy...''

Sanji heads to the kitchen. As he pushes open the door, his eyes meet Zoro's—standing near the counter, bottle in hand. Their eyes lock. Sanji jumps like a startled cat, hair bristling, ears twitching, tail straightening.

Sanji: ''YOU BETTER STAY BACK, YOU PERVERTED MARIMO!!''

Zoro scratches the back of his head awkwardly, ''I... I'm sorry, Sanji.''

Sanji pauses, surprised. The tension in his body softens.

Sanji: ''Zo... Zoro... you... di-did I scratch your brain in the process or something?''

Zoro: ''WHAT—NO!! I just... felt bad, that's all! NOW GIVE ME BOOZE, SHIT COOK!!''

Sanji lits a cigarette the smoke curling in the air and he mumbles, ''Yeah, yeah...''

He hands him the sake and turns back to his work. He begins preparing the promised cotton candy for Chopper. His tail sways lazily in the air, neko ears standing upright. There's a heavy silence between them—awkward but not uncomfortable.

Then—

Luffy: ''SANJI~~ MESHIIIII!!''  ''ONIKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!''

Sanji sighs in exasperation and hands luffy his share of meat, ''Aye aye, captain.''

Luffy eagerly takes it and rips a bite off of the meat. With a mouthful he asks, ''Sanji, how long is this side effect gonna last now?''

Sanji: ''Two to three days. I'm really glad it's almost over.''

Zoro suddenly stiffens, his eyes widening.

Zoro: ''WHAT!?!? ONLY TWO TO THREE DAYS!?!?''

Sanji and Luffy turn to him in confusion.

Sanji: ''The fuck is wrong with that? I'm hella happy I don't have to be in this form.''

Luffy: ''Yeah, Zoro. What's the problem? I thought you'd be happy?''

Zoro: ''Why would I be—... leave it.''

He sits down and takes a long swig from his sake bottle.
